What now?

The AUDUSD is up testing an upper trend line at the 0.72375 level. The price moved up to 0.72418 today and has rotated back lower. Yesterday the pair moved and closed above the 100 day MA. The low today stayed clear of that MA giving the buyers the reason to extend higher.

Looking at the 5-minute chart, the failure above has led to a move back below the 100 bar MA (blue line in the chart below) and the upward sloping trendline. This may be turning the tide to a more corrective one. The 0.7202 level is the 50%. THe 200 bar MA is at 0.7198 and moving higher. The 200 bar MA held support earlier today. A move below those two technical levels will be more bearish technically.

In the new trading day, the RBA "Statement on Monetary Policy" will be released. The Statement on Monetary Policy is released once a quarter. The Statements assess current economic conditions and the prospects for inflation and output growth.

At the last policy meeting conducted last week, the RBA kept rates unchanged at 2.0%. The statement from the monetary policy decision can be found HERE.
